LPPC DSL BW 0407 A Brush Type 4 Class 47 races through, unappealing except for the solitary GWR seat, Ealing Broadway station on its way to Paddington with a typical Western Region express consisting of seven Mark 2Ds/Fs with a Mark 1 Full Brake – BG – and a Mark 1 RB - Restaurant Buffet. Organising the allocations of the RBs was particularly difficult as there weren’t many and the requirements for service, deep-cleaning, specials and weekend working left little or no leeway for the Stock Controllers at Paddington. After a lot of help from the Unidentified Class 47 Group on FaceBook, the locomotive has been identified as 47498, and the train is a Swansea to London service in the Summer of 1976... who needs notes? Keywords: BR, Western, Ealing Broadway, Passenger, Class 47, 1976, 47498
